Woo, new PIC’s. Microchip have released a new 32bit PIC. It seems to have a similar processing ability as the high end dsPIC’s, but should have increased data throughput. Although taking into account that there is only one chip in this series at the moment we can be sure that new and better systems will be released in the near future which will kick the pants off the older PIC’s.

To get into PIC32 microchip are selling an uber cheap development board for £25, its not currently in stock in Europe, but December 3rd 6th 10th more should be avaliable.

• 72 MHz, 1.53 DMIPS/MHz CPU core
• Up to 512KB Flash Memory
• Up to 32KB RAM
• + All the usuals (I2C, USART, SPI etc.)
